What should I do if GitHub is down?

Check GitHub's official status page at githubstatus.com for incident updates Try git operations over SSH instead of HTTPS — SSH and HTTPS use different infrastructure Clear your browser cache and cookies for github.com

Is GitHub slow right now?

GitHub responded in 15ms, which is within normal range. If it feels slow on your end, the issue may be your network or ISP.

How often does GitHub experience outages?

Most major services maintain high uptime. GitHub may experience brief outages during maintenance, traffic spikes, or infrastructure issues. Check the incident history section for recent data.

How do I check if GitHub is down?

Visit the GitHub page on WebsiteDown for a server-side HTTP probe of github.com. We also scan social media, news, and status pages for outage signals.

How does a GitHub outage affect my CI/CD pipeline?

If your build or deploy pipeline depends on GitHub, it may stall during an outage. Consider caching dependencies locally and having fallback registries configured.

Can I still push code during a GitHub outage?

Git commits are local, so you can keep working. Pushes and pulls require a connection to github.com. Wait for the outage to resolve before syncing.
